“I’ve known Rafa for a long time and he does not have the ability to speak to the players, to speak on the field, And we are lacking someone with more … you know that I'm talking
about, the two coconuts we have down there. You need two guys who can talk to the players and yell at them.”

“What can you expect from Cuauhtemoc Blanco? If you’d have told me
that [the criticism] had come from an educated or serious person who is an example off the field, maybe [I would take it].”

-- Marquez in response.

“To Rafa
Marquez who has said that I'm not a serious person and I'm not educated, I say to him if he doesn't consider it a lack of seriousness having your bags packed before playing a game and leaving us in
the Copa America in Venezuela. As for the education part, I don't think he went to Harvard. I'm a man of the people and a proud Mexican.”
